Congressman Brad Sherman Marks 4 Years Since the January 6th Attack

January 7th, 2025

Yesterday, Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman of Sherman Oaks helped mark the fourth anniversary of the January 6th, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol.

Congressman Sherman was among the lawmakers who were trapped inside the Capitol building as Capitol Police strained to hold back the surging, shouting mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

In a statement released by his office, Sherman lamented that fateful day four years ago as "a day that shook the foundations of our democracy" and "an unprecedented assault on the very heart of our democratic process".

While noting that progress in defending democracy has been made in the four years since the assault on the Capitol, Congressman Sherman stressed that "the work of protecting our democracy is far from over."

In order to effectively safeguard our democratic system, Sherman emphasized the need to adhere to "the ideals of democracy, the rule of law, and the peaceful transfer of power."

Sherman concluded with a strong call towards unity: "Let us remember that what unites us as Americans is far greater than what divides us. Together, we can ensure that the promise of democracy endures for generations to come."
